A new pyrrole derivative, 2-methyl-5-(2'-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-1'-oxygen)-propylpyrrole, named paesuffrioside (1), was isolated from the water-soluble extract of the root cortex of Paeonia suffruticosa, together with 11 known compounds. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and chemical transformation. Compounds 2 and 3 were isolated from this plant for the first time.
